Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations on land at Crosslands, Dainton Elms Cross, near Ipplepen, Devon (NGR SX 84829 66533), were undertaken by Exeter Archaeology during September 2007 as a condition of the grant of planning permission for the construction of buildings and an area of hardstanding (No. 07/02300/FUL). The site is located in an area where possible prehistoric features in the form of cropmarks have been recorded from aerial photographs, and where there is evidence of Romano-British activity in the form of chance finds of pottery and coins. The archaeological work initially comprised the monitoring of topsoil removal across a total area of c. 1500m2, and the subsequent excavation of six trenches, one of which, in the NW corner, revealed a large pit of late Romano-British date (3rd to 4th century). The pit contained a quantity of Roman native and imported pottery, together with animal bone, a copper alloy coin and an iron object. The pit is thought possibly to be a quarry pit for the underlying Devonian slate. Elsewhere across the site a series of linear and curvilinear features was recorded, none of which provided any dating evidence. The curvilinear features might represent evidence for prehistoric funerary or settlement activity, while the linear examples are likely to be either drainage ditches or perhaps field divisions. These could date from any time from the prehistoric through to the post-medieval period.
